Introduction
I was introduced to this site by a team member on the Fall Freedom Challenge on eDiets. I thought it would be a good way for me to hold myself accountable, while sharing my weightloss journey with others. For now I will use this blog to complete journal questions for the challenge and we'll just have to see how it evolves.
About me...
I am a 25 year old teacher. I've been overweight my entire life. I cannot even remember being at a healthy weight (although I have seen some pictures of myself at ages 2-3 and I looked pretty normal in them.) It's so easy to play the blame game. My whole family is overweight, and I never learned the importance of eating healthy or exercising. But...I've decided that it's time to take responsiblity for myself. I am in control here, and I am going to live a healthy life.
So...in June I joined eDiets, and I love it! It's given me so many tools to take on my journey. Since June I have lost 31.5 pounds. That's over 10% of my origanal body weight! I still have a long way to go, but I feel proud of what I have accomplished so far and I KNOW. I can do this!
